An experiment I've tried a few times. After this game, not planning to repeat. The d5 square is just too weak.

Exclam. Keeping the bishop in order to exploit black's weak white squares. The most common move, 7. Bxd7, trades if off for no good reason.

White's advantage is also clear after 8… Nc5 9. Bd5

9. O-O g6 10. Ne3 Nf6 11. Nc3 Bb7 12. Qf3 h5

Both 12… Be7 and 12… Bg7 can be answered by 13. Ng4, after which Black has big problems.

Exclam. I had only considered 14. Ncd5 Nbd5 15. Nd5 Nd5 16. ed5 a5, where black has hope of consolidating.

If 14… Nbd7 15. Ncd5 and black will lose the b-pawn for starters.

After 15… Be4 16. Ba4 or 15… cxb2 16. Ba4, Black's king is trapped in the center.

Possibly not urgent. 17. Rd1 might have killed me faster.

17… Nxe4 18. Na5 Qb6 19. Qd3 (threatening 20. Nxb7 and 21. Bd5) Nf6 20. Qg6+. Ouch.

19… Qc8 20. Nd6 was not very appetizing.

Here I thought I had almost achieved a playable position. I was proven mistaken.

Exclam. Nothing matters except the b-pawn.

It's over. The rest is momentum.
